Twelve (12) New Permits -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA; EOG With A Huge Clarks Creek Well

Active rigs: 182

Twelve (12) new permits --
  • Operators: WPX (7), EOG (3), Hess, Fram Operating
  • Fields: Norma (Renville), Tioga (Williams), Mandaree (Dunn), Parshall (Mountrail)
  • Comments: WPX has seven permits for same section in Mandaree (11-149-93); they appear to be a 4-well pad; and a 3-well pad
Wells coming off the confidential list were posted earlier; see sidebar at the right.

There were 19 well name changes. Most of the well name changes appeared to be (at least somewhat) substantive, such as changing from Three Forks to middle Bakken (or vice versa) and/or being a bit clearer on the lower bench that was being targeted in the Three Forks. I generally see one or two name changes with each daily report; seeing a list of almost 20 catches one's attention.

Wells coming off the confidential list tomorrow:
  • 20329, 1,203, EOG, West Clark 4-2425H, Clarks Creek, middle Bakken; 34 stages; 9 million lbs; sand; t5/13; cum 55K 7/13; gas as high as 8,796 units;
  • 24260, drl, BR, Glacier 24-9TFH, Clear Creek, no production data,
  • 25064, drl, Zargon, Zargon Mackobee Coulee 2HZ 2-16-158-85, Mackobee Coulee, a Madison well; horizontal; producing, 
  • 25078, 75, Whiting, Davidson 24-29, Delhi, a Red River well, t5/13; cum 3K 7/13; doesn't appear to be much of a well, see first comment; a vertical well; vertical Red River wells are not fracked
Mackobee Coulee is an old Madison formation field, very active with vertical wells; about 20 miles northwest of Minot, near Carpio. Most of these old Madison wells were drilled back in 1975 and many (most?) are still actively producing.

  1. The Davidson well is one of the Red River verticals being drilled near Beach. None of these have been fracked, just acidized. Yet regardless, from the runs I saw it doesn't appear to be a very good one.
